COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009

Note 1    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA and Ridge Properties, Inc.  All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  However, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2008, including the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of September 30, 2009 and the results of operations for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2   Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance against which actual loan losses are charged. The amount of the provision is determined by management through an evaluation of the size and quality of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, concentrations of credit, recent loan loss trends, delinquencies and other risks inherent within the loan portfolio.

The corporation did not record a provision for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

The Corporation reviews its position quarterly to determine if there is Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) on any of its securities.   All of the Corporation’s securities are debt securities and we assess whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost basis.  The Corporation monitors the credit ratings of all securities for downgrades as well as any other indication of OTTI condition.  As of September 30, 2009 there were two municipal bonds in an unrealized loss position.  These unrealized losses are considered to be temporary impairments.  The decline in the value of these debt securities is due only to interest rate fluctuations and not any deterioration in credit quality.  As a result, the Corporation currently expects full payment of contractual cash flows, including principal from these securities. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until market recovery or maturity, therefore none of the unrealized losses on securities are deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2008, no securities held by the Corporation were in unrealized loss position.

Note 5   Legal Proceedings

Other than proceedings which occur in the normal course of business, there are no legal proceedings to which either the Corporation or it’s subsidiary is a party, which, in the opinion of management, will have any material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Note 6   Guarantees

The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to secure the performance of a customer to a third party. Of these letters of credit, $448,000 automatically renews within the next twelve months and $2,152,000 will expire within thirteen to one hundred and nineteen months. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2009 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 7   Earnings per share

The Corporation has a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share equals net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during each period presented. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 2,868,152 and 2,971,398 respectively.

Note 8   New Accounting Standards

In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.  The amendments within ASU 2009-05 clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:

A valuation technique that uses:

a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset.

b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.

          Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820.

Two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability.

 
9

 
When estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability.

Both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance.
 
In June 2009, FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” ASC Topic 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to become the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the SEC and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The provisions of ASC Topic 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. As the Codification did not change GAAP, the adoption of ASC Topic 105 had no impact on First Commonwealth’s financial condition or results of operations.

Following issuance of this statement, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions ("FSP"), or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The Board will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right. Accounting Standards Updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.

Note 9   Restricted Investment in Bank Stock
 
Federal law requires the Bank, a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank according to a predetermined formula.  This restricted stock is carried at cost and as of September 30, 2009, consists of the common stock of FHLB of Pittsburgh.  In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock.
 
Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 01-6, Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others.  Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.
 
Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB stock as of September 30, 2009. Our evaluation of the factors described above in future periods could result in the recognition of impairment charges on FHLB stock.

Note 10   Fair Value Disclosures

The Corporation adopted FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value.  There was no impact from the adoption of FASB ASC-820 on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC-820 primary impact on the Corporation’s financial statements was to expand required disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values.

FASB ASC-820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC-820 are as follows:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical,unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:  Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement andunobservable (ie., supported with little or no market activity).

   The following valuation techniques were used to measure fair value for available for sale securities as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Securities Available for Sale: The Corporation utilizes a third party in determining the fair values for securities held as available for sale.  For the Corporation’s agency mortgage backed securities, the third party utilizes market data, pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information. Methodology includes
broker quotes, proprietary modes, vast descriptive terms and conditions.  The third party uses their own proprietary valuation Matrices in determining fair values for municipal bonds.  These Matrices utilize comprehensive municipal bond interest rate tables daily to determine market price, movement and yield relationships.

We may be required to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  The Level 3 disclosures shown below represent the carrying value of loans for which adjustments are primarily based on the appraised value of collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows, which often results in significant management assumptions and input with respect to the determination of fair value.  There were no realized or unrealized gains or losses relating to Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurement by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2009 are as follows  (in thousands).

Impaired loans at December 31, 2008, which are measured using the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell for collateral-dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $3,576,000 with a valuation allowance of $215,000.

The decrease in impaired loans from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 is due to changes in two loan relationships. One was upgraded, a  $2.8 million relationship, which had lost a sizable anchor tenant, resulting in a need for restructured terms of repayment.  Since year-end 2008, the borrower has been able to negotiate a favorable lease with a replacement tenant.  The other is a $265,000 loan that was downgraded due to the loan being restructured to interest only.

 
FASB ASC 825-10-65, Transition Related to FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are as discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Short-Term Investments

The carrying amounts for cash and short-term investments approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.

Securities
The Corporation utilizes a third party in determining the fair values for securities held as available for sale.  For the Corporation’s agency mortgage backed securities, the third party utilizes market data, pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information. Methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary modes, vast descriptive terms and conditions.  The third party uses their own proprietary valuation Matrices in determining fair values for municipal bonds.  These Matrices utilize comprehensive municipal bond interest rate tables daily to determine market price, movement and yield relationships.

Restricted Investments in Bank Stock

The carrying amounts of restricted investments in bank stock approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.
 
Loans Receivable

Fair values of variable rate loans subject to frequent repricing and which entail no significant credit risk are based on the carrying values.  The estimated fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 
12

 
Deposits

For deposits which are payable on demand at the reporting date, representing all deposits other than time deposits, management estimated that the carrying value of such deposits is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  Fair values of time deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregate expected maturities.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.

Long-Term Borrowings

Fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar terms and maturity.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and for outstanding letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.

Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, unforeseen credit problems, and the Corporation’s ability to execute its business plans. The actual results of future events could differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the 2008 Annual Report). Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the 2008 Annual Report for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.

Significant estimates are made by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing these estimates, including current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral (if collateral dependent) and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral also have a significant impact on whether or not the Corporation continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management and Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within.

OVERVIEW

The Corporation had net income of $3.6 million or $1.25 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2.8 million or $0.94 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Corporation’s return on average assets for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 was 1.30% and 1.06%, respectively.  Return on average equity for the same two periods was 11.76% and 9.84%, respectively.

The Corporation’s largest segment of operating results is dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is interest earned on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, net interest income was $11.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s emergency assessment amounted to five (5) basis points on each institution’s assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, subject to a maximum equal to 10 basis points times the institution’s assessment base. Our special assessment, which was reflected in earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, was $165,000. In addition, the FDIC may impose additional emergency special assessments after June 30, 2009 of up to five (5) basis points per quarter on each institution’s assets minus Tier 1 capital if necessary to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance or as a result of deterioration in the deposit insurance fund reserve ratio due to institution failures. The latest date possible for imposing any such additional special assessment is December 31, 2009, with collection on March 30, 2010. Any additional emergency special assessment imposed by the FDIC would impact our earnings. In lieu of imposing a special assessment, the FDIC has adopted the proposal that all institutions prepay their assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and all of 2010, 2011 and 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s total assets increased by $9.9 million, or 2.8%, from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009.  Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $362,000.  Investment securities available for sale increased by $19.0 million, this increase in investments was mainly due to security purchases of $47.1 million, security maturities of $1.0 million, principal pay-downs of $30.6 million and market value increases of $3.2 million on the securities. Net loans outstanding decreased by $10.6 million.  The decrease in loans was mainly the result of declines in the following categories; $7.9 million in mortgages, $4.0 million in installment loans and a $376,000 decrease in tax-free loans.  These decreases were slightly offset by increases of $1.1 million in commercial loans and an $894,000 increase in construction mortgages.  The Corporation attributes the loan declines to consumer and commercial customers being cautious in 2009.

The Corporation’s total deposits increased $7.1 million from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009. The non-interest bearing deposits increased by $9.2 million and the interest-bearing deposits decreased by $2.1 million. The increase in non-interest bearing deposits is a result of customers maintaining higher average balances in demand accounts.  The decline in the interest-bearing deposits was due to decreases in certificates of deposits of $10.8 million. These decreases in certificates were offset by increases of $4.0 million in money market funds and a $3.4 million increase in savings accounts. The Corporation made the decision during the first nine months not to match higher rates on certificates of deposits, which resulted in the decrease in certificate balances.

 
Shareholders' equity was $42.6 million on September 30, 2009 compared to $39.1 million on December 31, 2008. Total shareholders equity increased due to following; $3.6 million in net income, a $2.1 million increase in other comprehensive income due to increases in fair value of securities available for sale, a  $306,000 decrease from the purchase of treasury stock and the $1.9 million decrease from cash dividends paid to shareholders. Book value per common share increased from $13.56 at December 31, 2008 to $14.88 at September 30, 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Nine Months of 2009 as compared to the First Nine Months of 2008

Net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $3.6 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period of 2008, representing a 28.34% increase.  The increase is primarily due to lower market costs for interest bearing deposits and Federal Home Loan borrowings in 2009 compared with 2008.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $14.7 million, an increase of 0.86% from interest income of $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Loan income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $9.1 million compared to $9.9 million in 2008.  The decrease in loan income was due to lower average loan balances in 2009 compared to 2008. Loan averages in 2009 were $10.8 million lower than 2008. In addition, loan yields for the first nine months of 2009 decreased eighteen  (18) basis points to 5.80%. This decrease in the loan yield is due to lower market rates for new loans in 2009.  Investment income from securities increased $900,000 or 19.07% for the first nine months of 2009 compared with the same period of 2008. Investment income increased due to a $22.8 million or 21.57% increase in average outstanding investments in 2009 compared with 2008. The yield on the securities portfolio in 2009 decreased twelve (12) basis points to 5.83%.  The yield on total average earning assets for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 was 5.81% and 5.97%, respectively.

 
14

 
Total interest expense of $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2009 decreased by $1.4 million or 29.45% compared with the same period of 2008.  The average interest bearing liabilities in 2009 were $255 million, an increase of $9.0 million or 3.67% over 2008 averages.  Interest on deposits decreased $1.4 million or 36.10% in 2009 compared to 2008. The cost of certificates of deposits decreased by $1.3 million in 2009 compared with 2008. The decrease was due a decline of  $18.4 million in certificates of deposit average balances in 2009 compared with 2008 and lower market cost for the certificates in 2009 compared with 2008.  The expense on short-term borrowings decreased  $233,000 from the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.  Long-term borrowing expense increased $172,000 to $839,000 in 2009.  The corporation increased short and long-term borrowings from the FHLB to offset the decreases in interest bearing deposit accounts and to fund the increase in investments available for sale. The cost of the FHLB advances decreased significantly in 2009 compared with 2008. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2009 was 1.77%, an eighty-three (83) basis points decrease from the same period in 2009.  These factors led to the decrease in interest expense for the first nine months of 2009.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income for the first nine months of 2009 was $11.3 million compared to $9.8 million for the first nine months of 2008.

The Corporation did not record any loan loss provision expense in either of the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2009 or September 30, 2008.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2009 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $77,000 from non-interest income for the first nine months of 2008.  The $77,000 decrease is the result of the following; asset management and trust income declined by $60,000 and service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $35,000. Other service charges and fees increased by $17,000. The decrease in asset management and trust is due to lower market values on assets under management, the decrease in other service charges is due a lower volume of overdrafts and related fees.

Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2009 was $8.6 million, an increase of $350,000 or 4.25% from non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2008. The major change in 2009 was the $337,000 increase in FDIC expense compared with 2008. This increase was the result of the FDIC insurance costs increasing $172,000 in 2009 compared with 2008 and the FDIC special assessment of $165,000 in 2009.  Personnel costs decreased $16,000, net occupancy increased $67,000, furniture and equipment expense decreased  $37,000. Legal and professional fees decreased by $9,000 and other expenses increased slightly by $24,000.

Federal income tax for the first nine months of 2009 was $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2008. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 were 28.35% and 28.26%, respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 34% due principally to income from tax-exempt loans, securities, and bank owned life insurance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

The Corporation’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.3 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2008, representing a 23.51% increase.  Net income was higher due to higher total interest income and lower interest expense in 2009 compared to 2008.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $4.8 million, an increase of $114,000 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2008. Security income increased $348,000 or 23.18% in 2009 compared to 2008.  This increase in security income was due a $30 million increase in average investment securities balances for the three months ending September 30, 2009 compared with same period 2008.  The investments yielded 5.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 5.88% for the same period in 2008. Loan income decreased $234,000 or 7.28% for the three months ending September 30, 2009 compared with same period 2008. The decrease was due to both a decrease in average loan outstanding and a decrease in loan yields. Loan outstanding averages in 2009 were $10.78 million lower than 2008. The loan yield decreased fourteen  (14) basis points to 5.80% from 5.94%.

Interest expense during the third quarter of 2009 was $1.0 million, or $314,000 less when compared to the third quarter of 2008.  The interest bearing liability cost decreased to 1.66%, a sixty-three (63) basis points decrease from third quarter of 2008. The interest expense has declined due to lower market rates on certificate of deposits and lower cost for short and long term FHLB advances.  The average interest bearing liabilities increased  $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 2008.
 
15

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income increased $428,000 or 12.72% to $3.8 million during the third quarter of 2009 and yielded 4.11% of average total assets compared to 3.91% during the same period a year ago.

The Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 
Non-interest income decreased by $43,000 or 5.42%, to $750,000 during the third quarter of 2009 compared with 2008. Asset management and trust income decreased $34,000 due to lower market values for assets under management. The service charges on deposit accounts decreased $10,000, other service charges and fees increased $16,000, and bank owned life insurance income decreased $17,000 due to lower interest rates paid on the cash surrender values.

Non-interest expense increased $114,000 during the third quarter of 2009, a 4.20% increase from the same period in 2008. Personnel costs increased by $17,000, occupancy cost increased $39,000 primarily due to a $33,000 increase in repair and maintenance costs, furniture and fixture costs decreased $20,000, mainly due to a $15,000 decrease in equipment depreciation cost.  Legal and professional costs decreased for the three-month period in 2009 by $11,000 compared to same period 2008. FDIC insurance expense increased by $79,000 due to higher FDIC assessment rates in 2009. Other expenses increased by $16,000.

Federal income tax on third quarter 2009 earnings was $449,000 compared to $419,000 a year ago. The third quarter effective tax rates for 2009 and 2008 were 26.18% and 29.02%, respectively. The effective tax rate decreased due to higher municipal bond balances in 2009 compared with 2008.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measurements evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash flow requirements of its depositors and borrowers. The most desirable source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the Corporation’s ability to sell both loans and securities. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding needs.

The statement of cash flows for the first nine months of 2009 indicates cash provided by the increase in deposits and the cash provided by the decrease in loans was used to purchase investment securities.

As of September 30, 2009, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $65 million at the FHLB, with an additional $19 million of short term funding available through other lines of credit.  The Corporation’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as of September 30, 2009 was $120 million, with $55 million borrowed resulting in the $65 million as available.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect off balance sheet arrangements that consist of commitments to purchase securities or commitments to extend credit. The Corporation has entered into agreements to purchase $3.75 million in municipal bond securities with settlement dates in October 2009. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, which the Corporation obtains from the customer upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer or other obligor.  The types of collateral obtained by the Corporation may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of September 30, 2009 to the loan quality as of December 31, 2008. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as interest income as long as the remaining balance of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. When doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan in non-accrual status, any payments received are applied to principal to the extent the doubt is eliminated. Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income.

As of September 30, 2009, $42,000 of non-accrual loans were paying principal or principal and interest with payments recognized on a cash basis. The majority of renegotiated loans as of December 31, 2008 were two loan relationships, a $2.8 million loan relationship and a $715,000 loan relationship. These two renegotiated loan relationships are involved in the retail segment.  The $2.8 million relationship lost a sizable anchor tenant, resulting in a need for restructured terms of repayment.  Since year-end 2008, the borrower has been able to negotiate a favorable lease with a replacement tenant, therefore the loan has since returned to a current market rate and is no longer under restructured terms. At present, the Corporation has no knowledge of other outstanding loans that present a serious doubt in regard to the borrower’s ability to comply with current loan repayment terms.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These guidelines require that: (1) at least 50% of a banking organization's total capital be common and certain other "core" equity capital ("Tier I Capital"); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items be weighted according to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio be at least 8.00%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I capital to average total assets be maintained for financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including asset quality, high liquidity, low interest-rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating. As of September 30, 2009, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA, under these guidelines, had Tier I and total equity capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 17.97% and 18.83% respectively. The leverage ratio was 10.38%.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Corporation’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises due to timing differences between interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Interest rate management seeks to maintain a balance between consistent income growth and the risk that is created by variations in the ability to reprice deposit and investment categories. The effort to determine the effect of potential interest rate changes normally involves measuring the "gap" between assets (loans and securities) subject to rate fluctuation and liabilities (interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings) subject to rate fluctuation as related to earning assets over different time periods and calculating the ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

Repricing periods for the loans, securities, interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings are based on contractual maturities, where applicable, as well as the Corporation's historical experience regarding the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment and withdrawal patterns of certain assets and liabilities. Regular savings, NOW and other similar interest bearing demand deposit accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal without penalty. However, based upon historical performance, management considers a certain portion of the accounts to be stable core deposits and therefore are projected to reprice over a variety of time periods.

The Corporation utilizes a computer simulation analysis that projects the impact of changing interest rates on earnings. Simulation modeling projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline resulting from changes in interest rate levels. The Corporation utilizes the results of this model in evaluating its interest rate risk. This model incorporates a number of additional factors. These factors include: (1) the expected exercise of call features on various assets and liabilities; (2) the expected rates at which various rate sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice; (3) the expected relative movements in different interest rate indexes that are used as the basis for pricing or repricing various assets and liabilities; (4) expected changes in administered rates on interest-bearing transaction, savings, money market and time deposit accounts and the expected impact of competition on the pricing or repricing of such accounts; and (5) other factors. Inclusion of these factors in the model is intended to estimate the Corporation’s changes in net interest income resulting from an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates up 100, 200 and 300 basis points or 100, 200 and 300 basis points down. While the Corporation believes this model provides a useful projection of its interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions that are subject to continual refinement. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth rates and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict.

The September 30, 2009 computer simulations analysis projects the following changes in net interest income based on an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates for a twelve month period compared to baseline, with baseline representing no change in interest rates.  The model projects net interest income will decrease 2.4% if rates rise 100 bps, will decrease 6.2% if rates rise 200 bps and projects a 10.5% decrease of net interest income if rates rise 300 bps.  If rates decrease 100 bps, the model projects no change in net interest income, a 1.1% decrease if rates decrease 200 bps and if rates decrease 300 bps, the model projects net interest income will decrease 2.5%.

 
Management regularly monitors the interest sensitivity position and considers this position in its decisions with regard to the Corporation’s interest rates and maturities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
